Memo to My Students, Mostly Seniors Queueing for Their Diplomas, June, 2021; January, 2022

Here’s hoping the weather is not raining on your parades, joys and the works. I posted final grades on CUNYfirst early Thursday so everyone should have their grades by now.

I believe I’ve published all the articles to be published. [Click here to See Articles] There were a few one-drafts-only that weren’t publishable for a variety of reasons but students got submission credit for the articles. I will revisit those sometime in the next few weeks to see if any can be edited for publishing. Students will receive a notice if that happens.

If grade adjustments are necessary, I will submit change of grade forms sometime after mid-June after all the bureaucratic hustle bustle has cleared. Since most of you are queueing up for diplomas this June or in January, the main mission was to make sure that diploma plans weren’t disrupted.

The rest is in the attachment where I needed to get some things off of my chest. You might or might not want to read. Not a problem. Yep, the prof soapboxing.

[The Attachment]

Because the air is alive with the sounds of inflated, grotesquely inflated, exaggerated euphoria and jubilation
